SargeantSarcasm

A lock punishes the innocent. An infraction punishes the guilty. If everyone was spoiling it may be appropriate to lock if this forum was dedicated to that topic but if someone ruined harry potter or twilight I would hardly expect a lock or any infractions to be given out. The whole system is arbitrary and, in terms of your conduct, the whims of your personal fantasy.

Because there are various courses of action for various offenses. When someone spoils you infract but you don't cease discussion all together because some bad apples f'd it up. You only lock when a thread takes a topic to unnecessary abuses of the rules by default.

Ah well, I guess I can understand you locking it, but I just have to say, once again, that its is actually still worth going to see, as there are multiple endings, each with different moods.

But yeah, sorry.

Name it and I'll explain it.

Indeed.

I can give you the rest of the convo if you want.

[7/6/2009 5:36:23 PM] Nitrous: im set to appear offline so no one will notice

Once again I can't see the thread so I'm operating on limited information. If I remember correctly you locked a thread I felt wasn't justified so I sent you the message you quoted. After you did not comply I asked shock to promote me so I could unlock the thread and infract you both as a joke (because it did lead into some funny discourse) as well as a serious disciplinary measure.

Sorry for being rash, I apologize, but your unnecessary locks are not justified and this "abuse" of power is nothing more than what you perceive it to be.

It wasn't a joke! I intended upon participating and I even warned you if you continued to spam I would infract all of you and three of the staff continued so you were disciplined.

What did I tell you to do? Please I'm dying to know what sadistic thing I wanted you to do. How could I infract you if I wasn't admin?! I distinctly remember being promoted to admin to give you a joke infraction but if I was still demoted at the time of the infraction I couldn't have possibly done it.

Oooh. Oh my goodness gracious no! I remember the inappropriate language one for the "farewell forgehub" and that one was well deserved but I see the post has since been removed...

One of the spam infractions is justified.

As for the other spam and inappropriate language I don't have enough information to make a fair decision on whether it was necessary or not.

When have I given that infraction. Show me the proof.

I gave you infractions in jest. And on one occasion a spam infraction. If anything I didn't hand out enough infractions so I don't want to hear that bullshit.

What movies do you have on que now? If you don't mind me prying and asking.

LOL, I wanted to see that film too, but oh well.

How many times has the PPC been locked now?

Sorry bout the PPC idiocy.
Have you seen Precious?

Mmk. Sorry, about ruining the movie though.

Can you open the PPC?

Lol, its okay sarge, its a good movie anyway.
